St Stephen

The Feast of Stephen comes right after Christmas, and so spoils the festivities with the martyr's blood. Why? The sermon.

Three Christ Masses

On Christmas Eve, the First Christ Mass included the choir, a portion of which can be heard between the (chanted) Gospel and sermon, in this recording. The Second Christ Mass, at midnight, is my favorite, and the recording of its sermon is here. The Third Christ Mass, in the middle of Christmas morning, is here.

St Thomas

Here's a sermon from just the other day, on St Thomas and how helpful it is that his day is observed so close to Christmas.

Advent IV

John the Baptist does not take the bait. He refuses to accept the accolades of the Pharisees' messengers. He confesses "I am not the Christ." And so must we, learning the true meaning of repentance. The sermon for Advent IV, St. John 1:19-28 is here.

Advent III Midweek

Advent III Midweek mass, Gospel from St. Luke 1:39-46, sermon here.

St. Nicholas

St. Andrew

This is the apostle who exclaimed, "We have found the Messiah!" The sermon.
